Abstract:
This work has two parts, the first will study the influence that the University Reform Movement of Córdoba had in Ecuador, to reach what we today conceive as university autonomy in legislation, social and political matters. An assessment is made of the importance of the educational content that must be taught to improve university autonomy. In the second part, we will see how Ecuador has evolved in the field to reach the current university autonomy, the definition of university autonomy as a principle of higher education and co-government as an inherent element of it is analyzed. The study carried out shows that the path towards university autonomy is still being built, and in this construction is added the importance of addressing certain economic, political, social and cultural factors that must be examined to achieve the goal of the path, which is to have autonomy. university within the plurinational and intercultural State.
